Cameron said that the Y intercept of a quadratic function always tells the maximum value of the function. explain Cameron's erro

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

We can have two cases.

A quadratic function where the leading coefficient is larger than zero, in this case the arms of the graph will open up, and it will continue forever, so the maximum in this case is infinite.

A quadratic function where the leading coefficient is negative. In this case the arms of the graph will open down, then the maximum of the quadratic function coincides with the vertex of the function.

Where for a generic function:

y(x) = a*x^2 + b*x + c

The vertex is at:

x = -a/2b

and the maximum value is:

y(-a/2b)

A baseball collector took inventory of all of his baseball cards along with the value of each card. The box plot represents the

love history [14]

Answer: less than 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The box plot can be read as follows:

The first black dot is the minimum value.

The first half of the rectangle is the lower quartile.

The line that separates the two rectangles is the median.

The second half of the rectangle is the upper quartile

The final point is the maximum.

Knowing that each quartile represents about the 25% of the elements for the set, we can see that both lower and upper quartile (and the 25% of the elements that come after the upper quartile) cost more than $45.

Then we know that at least the (25% + 25% + 25%) = 75% of the cards in the collection cost more than $45.

And we also have elements that are not in the lower quartile that cost more than $45, but we can not determine the percentage that they represent.

So we can only conclude that more than the 75% of the collection costs more than $45.

Now we want to know the percentage of the baseball cards valued at less than $45.

So if more than 75% is valued at more than $45.

Then less than 25% is valued at less than $25.

The rabbit population in a forest area grows at the rate of 9% monthly. if there are 270 rabbits in july, find how many rabbits

sukhopar [10]

We will do multiplication, 270x0.9 to find out how many rabbits grow in the area each month. Using that number we will multiply it by 12 because the problem is asking us to find the number of rabbits grown in the are in one year. Our final answer would be 292.

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

$\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n} = 15/8$

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum you are trying to understand is this.

$\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n}$

Remember that in general when you have a geometric series

$\sum\limits_{n = 0}^{\infty} a*r^n$ you have that

$\sum\limits_{n = 0}^{\infty} a*r^n = \frac{a}{1-r}$ and that equality is true as long as $|r| < 1$ .

Therefore here we have

$\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n} = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{3*5} \big)^n = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{15} \big)^n$ and $\big|\frac{-1}{15} \big| = \frac{1}{15} < 1$

Therefore we can use the formula and

$\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{15} \big)^n = \frac{2}{1-(-1/15)} = \frac{2}{1+1/15} = 30/16 = 15/8$

Part C

Answer:

Tamara needs to cover a total of 476 square feet.
Tamara will have enough material to cover all four walls.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the room dimensions are 8 1/3 feet by 11 1/2 feet, the perimeter length is ...

P = 2(L+W) = 2(8 1/3 +11 1/2) = 2(19 5/6) = 39 2/3 feet

The area of the walls is the product of this perimeter length and the height of the wall. If that height is 12 feet, then the wall area is ...

A = PH = (39 2/3 ft)(12 ft) = 476 ft²

Tamara needs to cover a total of 476 square feet.

__

If Tamara orders 480 square feet of material, ...

Tamara will have enough to cover all four walls.
